Unable to visualize the coupling effect of DEM and CFD

Submitted by Ritwik on Tue, 01/23/2018 - 11:51

Hi,

I am using CFDEM and run a simulation ''tutorials/cfdemPostproc/fill cylinder'' by ./Allrun.sh, but unable to visualize.

What is the procedure to visualize the coupling effect of DEM and CFD in paraview?

Thanks
Ritwik

Hi Ritwik,

the cfdemPostproc is a post-processing tool only, so you won't see effects of force interactions.
I suggest you run cfdemSolverPiso/ErgunTestMPI Allrun.sh and make sure you hit CTRL+C when it asks you:
"deleting data at: /home/ <PATH>"
Afterwards launch ParaView, open CFD/system/controlDict.foam and select "Decomposed case" to visualize the data.

Cheers,
Josef
